It was a team effort to keep schools in the Roaring Fork District open for in-person instruction this year.
Terri Hailey, a student health aid at Sopris Elementary school in her 12th year, said everyone has done their part teachers, faculty, students and parents included and it often required completing tasks that weren’t necessarily in one’s job description.
“The way everyone has come together and made this work no matter what their role is in the school, for instance our principal emptying the trash or having her direct traffic,” Hailey said.
Yvette Blanc, nurse for the Roaring Fork School District, is in charge of training health aids in the district and coordinating with the public health department to establish regulations that will keep schools’ doors open and those who enter healthy to the best of their abilities.
